[AISWorld] 2nd CFP - SIG Cognitive Research (Formerly IS-CoRE) Workshop

[Lionel Robert]

The Tenth Annual SIG Cognitive Research Workshop

(Formerly IS-CoRE)

Sunday, December 16, 2012 (Pre-ICIS)

Orlando, Florida


2nd CALL FOR PAPERS


Submission Deadline: September 23, 2012


The organizing committee for the SIG Cognitive Research Workshop invites
research papers for its Tenth Annual meeting. In addressing IS research
questions, these papers are expected to use theories and methods from the
cognitive and psychological sciences. This is a critical moment in time for
us to rely on these other disciplines to complement IS research.


The future of the Information System discipline is bound to involve human
cognition as more and more systems are being used to meet our social needs.
Human cognition deals with how we know things, through processes such as
reasoning, perception, and judgment. SIG Cognitive Research is intended to
represent and support researchers in information systems who view
understanding human cognition as a critical component to the successful
design and implementation of information systems. As such, the questions of
interest that are relevant to this SIG group focus on IS problems in terms
of the process of knowing. There is a wide range of diverse topics from
which these questions can come. These include, but are not limited to, the
ones listed below.


* Situated, shared, social, distributed, and team cognition

* Cognition in Virtual Worlds

* Collaborative work

* Group and individual decision support systems

* Group and individual group problem-finding, problem-solving

* Cognitive perspectives on human or computer-mediated knowledge-sharing

* Cognitive perspectives on decision processes

* Cognitive perspectives on knowledge management

* Cognitive perspectives on the design or use of information systems

* Cognitive processes of programmers/systems developers

* Cognitive aspects of learning and innovation

* Creativity and creative cognition

* Design of user learning and training interventions

* Human factors in information environments

* Human-computer interaction or human factors perspectives involving
cognition or perception

* Research methods to investigate cognitive issues in IS


This workshop is intended to help authors improve their work through
relevant feedback that will be provided by peers. With such feedback, the
overall aim is to increase the chances of publication for a given paper. As
such, we encourage authors to submit completed papers that are under
preparation for submission to an academic journal.


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Authors should submit full papers. Papers should be limited to 10,000
words, including tables, figures, and references. Authors must also include
an abstract not exceeding 300 words. Papers are to be submitted
electronically to rotondo at cobilan.msstate.edu with the subject line "CORE
Submission".


Before submitting manuscripts, please format papers so that:
(1) the first page contains only the paper title, author names,
affiliations, and e-mail addresses
(2) the second page contains only the paper title and abstract, without
author names
(3) identifying information is removed from the file properties
(4) all comments are removed and changes are accepted (if necessary)


Papers may be submitted in Word, WordPerfect, or Acrobat formats. If
submitting in Acrobat, please submit the title page with author information
separately.


REVIEWING

Submissions will be double-blind reviewed. The organizing committee will
participate in and coordinate the review process. Submitting authors agree
to provide timely reviews of at most two other submissions, if requested.


WORKSHOP FORMAT

The workshop is intended to serve as a showcase of leading cognitive
research in information systems. There are no separate tracks or concurrent
presentations. The format of the workshop is designed to enable open and
constructive discussions of the research, in a spirit of collegial
community-building. The workshop will run for the full day (tentatively
8:30AM - 5:00pm). A small fee (TBA) will be charged to cover costs.


Doctoral students are encouraged to attend the SIG Cognitive Research
workshop. A discounted rate for attendance will be extended to these
students. There will be special roundtable discussions of Ph.D. students’
proposals. In prior years, students have found this to be very helpful. A
separate call for students’ proposals will follow this call for papers at a
later date.

site at http://www.ou.edu/is-core/.


EXTENDED ABSTRACTS

This workshop is a forum to present and discuss papers to help authors
publish their papers in top academic journals. In order to prevent
copyright issues for subsequent publication, authors of accepted papers
will be required to submit an extended abstract which will be distributed
at the workshop and made available on the SIG website. The purpose of this
extended abstract is to highlight key aspects of the papers presented for
discussion. The abstract should include a synthesis of the theoretical
background, methods and findings of the full paper. The extended abstract
should not exceed 2 pages of single-spaced text including any tables,
figures and references.


IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline:  September 23, 2012
Acceptance notification:  October 28, 2012
Submission of extended abstracts for program:  November 18, 2012
Workshop:  Sunday, December 16, 2012
